Description

Digital recording offers flexibility and editing options that weren’t easily available (if at all) with analogue recording. The possibilities for manipulating sound sources are seemingly endless and by recording their own sounds at source and editing samples, musicians and engineers can create new esoteric sounds that will enable them to create original sounding music. This Course offers the learner the ability to explore those possibilities.
